Davenport - City's under-18 player of the year in 2016, who is rated highly by Pep Guardiola - has made appearances in the UEFA Youth League, Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy - but he's eager to make his first competitive outing as a senior professional.

"The EDS (Elite Development Squad) league is not as challenging or competitive as league football and playing against men is what I need now to gain experience," he told the Brewers' website.

Primarily a defensive midfielder, Davenport can also operate at left-back.

He has been in and around City's first team, and he revealed in an interview with the Manchester Evening News back in November that Guardiola was giving serious consideration to having him feature in November's Carabao Cup tie against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
